The Konrad Zuse School of Excellence in Reliable AI is happy to welcome five new relAI fellows from TUM, LMU and the research center Helmholtz AI. The expertise of the new fellows on reliable AI  will strengthen relAI's research and education, particularly in the focus area on Mathematical and Algorithmic Foundations. New fellows are Prof. Dr. Daniel Cremers (TUM), Prof. Dr. Reinhard Heckel (TUM), Prof. Dr. Johannes Maly (LMU), Prof. Dr.  Christoph Kern (LMU) and Dr. Vincent Fortuin (Helmholtz AI). The contribution of the new relAI fellows to research support, seminars, and lectures will enrich the relAI curriculum and advance the theoretical research of the relAI field.

Prof. Dr. Daniel Rückert became the fourth director of the MCML in May 2023. He is Alexander von Humboldt Professor for AI in Medicine and Healthcare at the Technical University of Munich and also Professor at Imperial College London.
